Rants/raves: rant my mom has hijacked my shower she now changed it all and added about 8 people I don't know. I have decided to just let her do what she wants and suck it up. She needs it as a distraction since her husband passed. Rave I love feeling lots of kicking!!
GTKY: who is your favorite animal, and why? I love hippos. They are awesome docile creatures that when provoked can be scary.
Weeks/fruit/veggie/whatever odd shape comparison there is: 27 weeks/rutabaga
Symptoms: leg cramps getting worse, out of breath more when walking, loss of sleep...-_-
Appointments: i have one next week! i think it's just a checkup
Rants: I've got a larger cubical at work, and this guy keeps walking in it like it's his. moving my papers around, looking out the window, he had some guy sit in my extra chair for 20+ minutes waiting for an interview. while i was snarfing down my lunch.... i know it has nothing to do with my pregnancy. But c'mon dude. be considerate and have him wait in the lobby or something... and stay out of my work space.
raves: Pajama pants that FIT! I've outgrown my beloved yoga pants, i've gotten some maternity yoga pants from motherhood, but to just hang out around the house, i wanted something loose and amazing., I ordered some from Old Navy, and i love them.
GTKY: who is your favorite animal, and why?
My favorite animal is a shark. Specifically, great whites. JAWS has been my favorite movie for YEARS--after being obsessed with the movie when i was younger i started really studying sharks. I even wanted to go to Woods Hole to continue my education on marine biology... didn't happen. but sharks are awesome.
i also like turtles/tortoise. Anytime i see a turtle on the road or where it's not supposed to be, i'll take him to the nearest wildlife area or to my parents lake (if i find them close enough) Of course, be safe when getting turtles off the roads... one turtle at a time.
Weeks/fruit/veggie/whatever odd shape comparison there is: 28 weeks! Hello 3rd Trimester.... eggplant Symptoms: so much muscle ache from growing, I don't remember this from my first pregnancy only rlp Appointments: Chiropractic appointment tomorrow and prenatal on the 23rd (my bday!) Rants/raves: I'm not ready for the baby to be here but I'm ready to wear normal clothes again. I also want to drink and walk normally, that is all. GTKY: who is your favorite animal, and why? Peacock because they're beautiful.
Symptoms: I just feel huge. Having lots of pain at the top of my stomach, like a baby part is just pressing on it really hard. Also feeling out of breath way too easily. :P
Appointments: Supposed to do my 28 week checkup and glucose test this week, but I overbooked myself that day so I need to reschedule...
Rant: I feel huge already and still have 12 weeks to go? AHHHH! Rave: My H's birthday this week and I'm surprising him with a huge gift he's been wanting forever. I'm SO excited.
Weeks/fruit/veggie/whatever odd shape comparison there is: 26! Lettuce! I ate a salad today with iceberg lettuce and then opened the app and felt a little bad eating something. That my baby is compared to. I quickly got over it when I took another bite. Just so you know. Symptoms: what I think may be Pelvic girdle pain. My hip almost dislocated this weekend too and moving at all had been hard. Appointments: specialty OB tomorrow, so my symptoms will hopefully be helped! Rants/raves: Rant: I'm sick of one of the people I work for texting me and telling me these new schedules and plans without asking first. I got a text today saying to be there before 1 Wednesday and Thursday's. When I took this job I made it clear my availability was not until 3:30 those days. Rude much? Not to mention we JUST had this conversation. Raves: I am doing really well off of my medication. It makes me feel proud and more like I can actually do something on my own instead of relying on a pill. GTKY: who is your favorite animal, and why? PENGUIN. My "sister" (her family took me in and basically adopted me, my mom wouldn't give up legal custody which is why it wasn't official) and I actually held a penguin before. as her birthday surprise we got to go behind the scenes at six flags and they brought out 3 penguins for us and it was so cute. Did you know they are soft? Like SOFFFFTTT. Not slippery.
Weeks/fruit/veggie/whatever odd shape comparison there is: 24 weeks (I feel so behind in this group!!!), cantaloupe melon
Symptoms: sleeping less, tired, skin feels tight across belly button
Appointments: midwife next week for check up
Rants/raves: my bump appeared about two weeks ago! Exciting! I now actually look pregnant! Don't fit in many trousers anymore tho! Bought maternity skinny jeans and LOVE them!
Also, kicks keep getting stronger and stronger, so exciting! DH can now feel them properly
GTKY: who is your favorite animal, and why? Love penguins too @thisusername ! Also orcas are so beautiful
Sorry I've been a bit MIA! Started a new job and it's amazing but keeps me SO busy.
Weeks/fruit/veggie: 24/cantaloupe
Symptoms: Hip pain, back pain. Peeing a lot.
Appointments: GD test tomorrow.
Rants/raves: Baby girl is kicking all the time. DS and DH are sick but somehow I've avoided it so far.
GTKY: What is your favorite animal, and why? I think a wolf now. They are pack animals and loyal to their families. They are such gorgeous creatures too!
@Vkrosa - Hippos are aggressive! We went on safari in Tanzania and were told they didn't need any provocation to attack so we stayed away. Well DH got a little closer than I would.
@britsknits11 - Not sure where you are but at the National Zoo, you can get about 2 feet away from the peacocks and the area is off the path a bit so not crowded at all!
@AdventureMama - THIRD TRI! Everything is uncomfy in third tri. Any reflux? My son's butt was always all in my ribs.
@smn14 Right there with you at 24 weeks! A little behind the pack. :-)
Symptoms: Sore back, sleeping bad, having to pee a lot more, sore joints. I've also been losing some energy and not working out as much, but I'm trying.
Appointments: In two weeks
Rant: Nothing too negative going on right now... other than my mom pissing me off which is normal.
Rave: It's finally cold here! Yay! We are almost finished with the renovations we're doing. Decided to just hire someone to do the tile so my hubs doesn't have to, and it will get done like 5x faster. So the floors are getting ripped up this week but I should have beautiful tile floors by Thanksgiving! Yay!
GTKY: who is your favorite animal, and why? I love horses. They are so majestic and beautiful, and make really sweet companions. I've never been able to own one, because being military keeps me too busy, but when I get out it's my dream to have a horse
@jaimeruns where are you stationed? When I was stationed in Florida (Pensacola) there was a ranch in Alabama that did horse back riding for $35 with an unlimited time and the option to go off trail. I always rode Cupid. He was a retired racehorse and shared my love for going fast!
Weeks/fruit/veggie/whatever odd shape comparison there is: Rutabega
Symptoms: Sore tailbone, have to pee more at night again (it did go away in the 2nd trimester which I loved but it's back), starting to lose energy, having trouble walking up flights of stairs and trouble sleeping.
Appointments: Went last week for one and doctor said baby boy's head is already down as of 26 weeks. She keeps telling me my belly is measuring "big" and I'm not sure how to take that.
Rants/raves: I hate how much slower I feel like I have to move now, I have to be more careful getting in a car, climbing up stairs, and I get out of breath quickly so I'm over that already. I love rocking form fitted sweaters and maternity shirts now that my belly is nice and round. I feel very proud to be pregnant.
GTKY: who is your favorite animal, and why? I love dogs because I grew up with them. They're loyal, love unconditionally and always have a way of cheering you up! (At least the good, well trained ones)
